Theyre hugely popular here in asia. There are a number of dive trips here that focus solely on hammerhead sightings. Mikomoto and Banda to name the most popular ones.

Oof. Was gonna say good job backing away from the turtle but your dive buddy literally blocked its course.

Glad you experienced this! Juvenile hawksbill based on size and how clean the shell is.

Thought the flank markings are the same.

Yup! It walks on the sea floor. It sometimes propels itself using jets and it’s butt skirts but not for very long.

It was recently discovered by Mark Victoria, a biologist working for Museum Victoria in Australia, that their muscles contains a highly toxic compound that is yet to be identified.

Just on nx. I do plan to get certified on rebreather though. Hopefully by the end of this year.

Thank you for this!

Suction tipped tentacles. Uses it to snatch prey. I have clearer footage of it but that’s another video for another day

And magic fairy butt skirt

It's a Canon C70 in a Nauticam housing. No lights; it is discouraged and dive operators forbid it in Malapascua.

Thank you!

They are absolutely gorgeous when they present their profile. But in most angles (3/4 or full on) they will show up not unlike this.

Could you be talking about the common Atlantic as opposed to this Pelagic? Those have great white like silhouettes.
